Ever since "Dancing With The Stars" started announcing this year's cast with surprise reveals on Monday, rumors have been flying like crazy. With so many "sources" claiming things, it can be a little hard to keep up with official announcements vs. rumored announcements. As of right now, the only stars that are confirmed by ABC are Bindi Irwin, Victor Espinoza, Nick Carter, Hayes Grier, Alexa and Carlos PenaVega and Chaka Khan. As for rumors, people believe Paula Deen will be competing and now some new names are popping up, as well.
One star that is rumored to be dancing on the hit show is pop singer Andy Grammer, a source told Entertainment Tonight. Grammer is known for the hit summer song "Honey, I'm Good." ABC has not yet confirmed that Grammer will be joining, but so far sources have been pretty on point, so only time will tell.
Another rumor going around is that "Bachelorette" runner-up Nick Viall will be competing since Kaitlyn Bristowe can't, according to Us Weekly. With the "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" being on ABC also, in the past we have seen a ton of contestants compete on "DWTS" once their shows are done airing, so this could be very likely.
There are many "DWTS" Twitter fanpages out there that seem to have "confirmed" partnerships for the upcoming season already. While it is unclear how they have this information, they seem to be pretty sure of themselves. According to Twitter accounts @DWTSGossip, @DWTS360 and @puredwts, Vega will be dancing with Mark Ballas, Espinoza with Karina Smirnoff, Carter with Sharna Burgess, Pena with Witney Carson, and Grammer with Peta Murgatroyd. They also have listed that Khan will be partnered with Keo Motsepe and Grier with Emma Slater, but neither of these pros were on the "Good Morning America" reveal.
As for Irwin, based on some photos shot outside of the studio, it seems as though her partner will be Derek Hough. The two were seen walking out of practice together.
Stay tuned for more "DWTS" announcements and watch the official reveal on "Good Morning America" Sept. 2. Season 21 premiers on ABC on Monday Sept. 14.
